US EditionRays falter with runners in scoring position in loss to Rockies
- The Colorado Rockies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Saturday in Tampa, Florida, at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
- Tampa Bay's struggles with runners in scoring position, going 2 for 10 and leaving 12 runners on base, contributed to their loss, despite finishing with 12 hits.
- Brenton Doyle's RBI single in the third and Kyle Farmer's RBI single in the seventh provided the Rockies with their two runs, driving in Nick Martini and Hunter Goodman, respectively, while Colorado's starter Antonio Senzatela gave up nine hits but kept the Rays off the scoreboard in 4 1/3 innings.
- Key defensive plays, including Doyle's diving catch to rob Yandy Diaz of extra bases and Tovar's throw to nail Junior Caminero at the plate, stifled Tampa Bay's offense, with Bud Black stating it was one of the best overall defensive games he had seen.
- Seth Halvorsen earned his third career save, setting down four consecutive batters, while Luis Peralta got the win and Zack Littell of Tampa Bay pitched well but took the loss.
